Dynamic contrast enhancement (DCE) MRI has been advocated for detection of prostate cancer, but studies predominantly concentrate on peripheral zone tumours. Biological differences are known to exist between tumours within transition and peripheral zones due to their different microenvironment. This study aims to compare and contrast quantitative DCE MRI parameters of prostate PZ and TZ cancer and non-cancer regions; to identify those best able to classify cancer tissue at each site and thereby improve DCE MRI based diagnostic models used within computer aided detection software.
